The catch can is a very misunderstood thing. If you head over to LXForums, there are many threads on the subject (one of the best here http://www.lxforums.com/board/f164/c...ml#post3163341). The fact is (and not just me saying this, the SRT Engineers also chuckle when its been brought up in discussions) a catch can WILL reduce oil injestion and assist in helping keep the backside of the throttle body butterfly clean. However, engine performance/longevity is not and will never be increased with a "clean" throttle body, nor by removing oil vapor.

Also, the 5.7 and smaller engines have an oil separator (read: catch can) built into the OEM plastic intake manifolds. Anything caught by an aftermarket catch can would simply be caught regardless by the OEM intake manifold/PCV area.

Cliffs notes: Will a catch can hurt anything? Definitely not! Is it necessary? Absolutely not and the Engineers have stated so multiple times.

Its for both Hemi and Pentastar Durangos. I dont think a single thing on that page wouldnt fit a V6 Durango.

No, it wont. It (the BT one) was actually ALMOST brought on as a genuine MOPAR accessory, but for obvious reasons, it was killed.

There are a ton of things that will work on your V6. All the fluid covers should work, the fuse box cover, Shifter handles all work, Billet Sill plates work etc etc.

Thanks for that! I was just about to pull the trigger on a catch can (even though I didnt want to). After doing more research it doesn't seen to be necessary at all. It doesn't hurt, but doesn't seem to matter.

Rich do yourself a favor and get a catch can. Sorry but these things suck oil at WOT
I only drove mine a 1000 miles and there is some in the can. At 40% off you can get it for $80 or so

Yeah, after doing more readup, I've decided to get one. I plan on keeping my 2014 for as long as possible, so I feel it's worth it.
